That's the secret, daily use made easy.Now let me show you how easy it is to incorporate daily wet brushing into your hygienic regime.Please follow these simple common sense instructions on the use of the Healthbrush, feel free to modify as you prefer. Wh﻿ile you are ﻿showering or bathing, place the required amount of your favorite body cleanser on the head of the Healthbrush. We suggest of course Healthbrush's naturally fragranced aroma therapeutic body cleansers, for the total experience. Now firmly hold the brush in one hand, ensuring that the whole head of the brush has contact with the skin, make small, brisk circles all over your body. Keep your strokes flowing, and keep continuous contact with the skin. Always start at the furthest point, and work towards the heart.﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿Keep focused! ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿Pay attention to the task at hand and don't let your mind wander. Give every inch of your body the same attention, as if you are painting your body. As you learn this method you will quickly adapt your own routine and will very quickly complete the cleansing and stimulating process. Pay extra attention to area’s that have more circulation, such as your ankles, the back of your knees, your buttocks, back, inside of arms, neck and most importantly your scalp. You should get into the habit of standing the bristles up as you sway from side to side on your scalp, learn this method it is truly invigorating. Think of the wonders that you're doing for yourself and how your body will love you for it once your finished. This will be a daily routine so get yourself use to being in a higher state of hygienic bliss.Be systematic. Beginning with the legs. Start with the soles of the feet, because the nerve endings here have the ability to effect the whole body (think where reflexology makes all their claims). Continue on to your toes and feet, the ankles, right up the front and backs of the legs, finishing with the thighs and buttocks. Let's now move into the intimate and rectal areas. These area's are very important and require daily cleanliness and hygiene helping circulation and preventing all kinds of infections, abscesses and venereal like diseases too many to mention. With that said, let's move on to your back. Chinese homeopaths seem to agree that the back is a crucial area to concentrate on and is central to many health benefits. They always concentrated on the back to relive all sorts of ailments and stresses (Shiatsu) do I need to elaborate? Here is where your long-handled Healthbrush is really effective. Start with the bottom of your back, circling up to the shoulders. Finish with the back of the neck. (Think of the last time you gave your back this stimulating treatment! this is so important)Now for your front. Start with the abdomen working toward the chest. Use your tolerance level when brushing your throat and face, as the skin here is very delicate. Use lighter strokes when brushing the breasts, and avoid any delicate areas.Finally the arms. Remember small circles, starting with the palms of your hands, fingers, wrists, and so on, till you reach your shoulders. All done!Once you are done, set shower on high and rinse off totally. You will feel your skin tingle and come alive. Lastly follow-up with a cool shower. This will help invigorate blood circulation and stimulate surface warmth.For those days when you need an extra boost, or just want to be spoiled, turn your shower into a purifying aroma-therapy treatment spa. This is acomplished by adding your favorite Healthbrush™ exfoliating scented essential soap oil to your brush bristles producing a rich invigorating lather that soothes and lubricates while providing the skin with essential oils. As the hot water hits the soap, you will be enveloped in a sensual cloud of fragrant steam.Wet brushing daily is easy when combined with your daily shower. When this becomes a daily routine it will be the single most important step you can take to keep your skin and body looking healthy, youthful while encouraging anti-aging.

For a morning shower where you might need an added lift for the day, choose from the Healthbrush™ recommended favorites such as:

If you are looking to relax and unwind into your inner consciousness we recommend ﻿these Healthbrush™ favorites:﻿

Pampering Rose: lifts the heart, eases nervous tension

Frangipani: restores inner peace

Lavender: calming and relaxing

Neroli: delicate, relaxing and refreshing tranquility

Chamomile: soothing, tranquil and restful

Once dried, treat your body with your favorite moisturizer. Again, think about what you are adding to your skin. Use a quality natural moisturizer or body butter that include ingredients such as Shea Nut or Cocoa Butters, that will nourish your skin. Avoid any products that have any hidden chemical additives, such as paraben, sodium laureth sulphate, SLS, SLES, petro-chemicals, etc that may be harmful to your well being.

Choose products that contain Glycerin as the humectant. Humectants attract water from the dermis into the epidermis, increasing the water content in the epidermis and Lanolin as an Occlusive. Occlusive’s increase the water content of the skin by slowing the evaporation of water from the surface of the skin. Also necessary are Emollient’s such as Eucerin it has been recommended for eczema patients for a long time, and it is still a good choice. It moisturizes with petroleum and mineral oil. The creme version can be pretty greasy, but the lotion is less so.

Job well done! And don't you feel fantastic! After a few attempts at skin brushing, you become more confident with your technique, you will have your routine down to about five minutes, and you will look forward to this little piece of heaven every day, while doing wonders for your body and well being.

This is simply the secret!

HOW OFTEN DO I BRUSH?

﻿For optimum results, brush once a day but use your own discretion and at your own tolerance level, before and or during your shower or bathing would be great. It is best to make this part of your regular hygiene ritual and brush every time you bath or shower. My philosophy is simply incorporating "the twenty year principal" whatever you incorporate good or bad into your daily routine will directly have an impact on your health positive or negative. (ie; smoking 1 cigarette per week as apposed to 60 per day for 20 years) or the blueberry principle, eating a handful of blueberry’s for their health benefits once a month is not going to have a significant health benefit as apposed to eating a handful everyday for twenty years! Or walking once a week and thinking that you are exercising as apposed to walking briskly for 5 miles just about every day for twenty years. Imagine how much better you would feel and what your body would look like after 20 years of brushing and you wouldn't even know it because you have put this routine into your daily program. Look your gonna get there anyway so why not do something good for yourself every day. Also get into the habit of asking yourself daily “what have I done and/or eaten today that’s beneficial to my health and well being? it all adds up and you will see the result, good or unfortunately bad"
